Yes this is what I feel as well. Sometimes you have different preferences, and having different rackets lets u change/adapt ^_^
And since there are so many choices now, it is no longer super expensive to try new rackets.

Why do I need a new racquet? Because my newly acquired racquet(s) gets old even when they are a couple months old. Just like when a coach repeats the finer points of badminton strategy...no matter how visionary they can be, it would still get old.

I played guitar: I had fancy stuff in my bedroom that is way overpowered for home use.
I played airsoft: I had LOADS of gear just because. Even if I only played a few time a year.
with Badminton it's the same. I enjoy hobbies and thus am prepared to throw money at it.
That's why I am prepared to pay more than 100 euros for a racket even when it doesn't matter.

It's called GAS (Gear Aquisition Syndrome) and it's an official disease to musicians :P.

Just out of curiosity, ont know if I should do a poll about it. How many rackets do you guys own? For me, I think I'll get my 3rd racket then I'll be good or years to come or until one of them breaks lol!!
